Israeli warplanes have launched attacks against the positions of the Hamas resistance movement, in the Gaza Strip, amid weekly protests at the edge of the enclave, to assert the right of displaced Palestinians to return to their homeland.

The Israeli fighter jets targeted the positions of Hamas in the south of the Gaza Strip, early on Sunday, PNN reports.

Tel Aviv claimed that Palestinians had thrown “explosive devices” over the fence that separates Gaza from Israeli-occupied territory, late on Saturday, and that the airstrikes were in response to that alleged action.

It was not clear whether the strikes caused any damage or casualties.

Meanwhile, Gaza’s Health Ministry announced the death of a 24-year-old Palestinian man, Habeeb al-Masri, who had earlier sustained wounds in clashes with Israeli forces.

Two other Palestinians were killed by Israeli fire, in separate clashes, on Friday.

Gazans started protesting along the fence on March 30, 2018, demanding the right to return for those Palestinians driven out of their homeland by Israeli aggression and calling for a halt to Israel’s blockade of the enclave.

At least 258 Palestinians have been killed by Israeli fire, in Gaza, since the weekly protests began.

Earlier on Friday, the United Nations Human Rights Council denounced Israel’s use of “unlawful lethal and other excessive force” against unarmed Gaza protesters.

Following the UN condemnation of Israel, Hamas called on the international community to take practical measures to stop the Israeli aggression.

Israeli naval forces opened heavy fire, on Sunday, towards Palestinian fishing boats off the coast of Khan Younis and Rafah, in the southern besieged Gaza Strip.

Eyewitnesses said that the Israeli navy repeatedly opened fire towards a number of Palestinian fishing boats, which were working within the permitted fishing zone, forcing the fishermen to head back to shore in fear for their lives.

No injuries were reported.

According to the United Nations Office for Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA), Israel’s blockade of the coastal enclave has seriously undermined the ability for Gazan fishermen to make a living at sea.

The Israeli army regularly detains and opens fire on unarmed Palestinian fishermen, shepherds, and farmers along the border areas if they approach the unilaterally declared buffer zone.

Israeli human rights group B'Tselem recently concluded that Israel's Gaza closure and "harassment of fishermen" have been "destroying Gaza's fishing sector," with 95% of fishermen living below the poverty line.

Local rights organization, Al-Haq, has documented many cases of Israeli aggression toward Palestinian fishermen off the Gazan coast, calling the Israel's action against the fishermen "collective punishment" that imposes "difficult economic and social conditions."

At least three Palestinian protesters were injured and dozens suffered from their exposure to tear gas fumes during renewed nighttime rallies on Saturday in border areas east of the besieged Gaza Strip.

They added that Israeli soldiers intensively fired live ammunition and tear gas grenades at the protesters, injuring three of them in the east of Jabalia, Rafah and Khan Younis.

The protesters torched tires, used loudspeakers to play national songs and sirens, and flashed laser beams at soldiers behind the border fences.

Organizers say such night rallies are aimed at creating confusion among Israeli forces on the border and pressuring Israel to lift its blockade on Gaza.

He added that the Palestinian was shot during a protest near the perimeter fence, east of Beit Hanoun in the northern part of the Gaza Strip, after the soldiers targeted many protesters with live fire, rubber-coated steel bullets and high-velocity gas bombs.
